Locum occupational therapists in Brisbane.

Typical occupational therapists rates run from $55 to $95 per hour. Brisbane metro rates sit in the upper band because demand is deep, and after-hours and weekend loading stack on top. Sessional compares your per-shift yield across agencies and direct Brisbane workplaces so an under-priced contract surfaces fast.

AHPRA registration with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia is the national base. In Queensland that sits alongside a Working with Children (Blue Card) from the Blue Card Services (paid $104.70, valid 3 years) when your role involves children. WorkCover Queensland covers workers compensation; confirm contractor cover before your first shift. Sessional tracks every credential expiry in one vault.

Sessional is source-agnostic. Agency bookings, direct-to-workplace engagements, hospital bank pools, and percentage-of-billings arrangements across Brisbane live in one ledger. The PSI diagnostic runs across all sources combined, so the 80 per cent rule exposure is visible across your whole portfolio rather than per agency, with GST classification and ATO cents-per-km tracking on top.

Occupational therapists in Brisbane often mix percentage-of-billings work (dental, psychology, private clinic) with NDIS-capped work. Sessional tracks gross billings, clinic or lab service fees, the current-year NDIS line cap per item, and the 50 per cent travel rule per line. GST is classified automatically per line from the item type and your registration status.
